Pharmacology
Magnesium prevents or controls convulsions by blocking neuromuscular transmission and contributes to over 600 cellular reactions throughout the body. Approximately 24-76% of ingested magnesium is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract via passive paracellular absorption in the small intestine. Magnesium has the ability to bind to 3751 human proteins and does not appear to be metabolized. The majority of magnesium is excreted renally.
